Carolina Herrera - Collection Spring/Summer 2015 New York

The designer Carolina Herrera was awarded the prestigious prize given by the FIT, she created a spring/summer 2015 collection that was very structured with round lines. She researched the most innovative materials, with digital prints, all in shocking colours which definitively placed the designer at the center of the luxury world or a combination of couture and art.Interview: Carolina Herrera: The whole collection started with the colour code of a flower, and I took it and I digitalised the colour of the flower and what came out of that flower you will see in the colours of the collection and also in the prints. I’ve been using, what I call techno-fabric, which is techno piqué, I call it techno piqué, techno crape because it’s a fabric that you usually use more or less for scuba diving but you mix it in a modern way, and it’s fascinating to work with, because it moulds in such a way that makes the women look very seductive and feminine at the same time.Fashion should be art in movement because the dresses have to be worn to be seen; you cannot hang a dress in a museum forever, you can but it’s not the same, there has to be movement. But I think art inspires it a lot of course. Music from the show.

This NYFW's mixed schedule of men’s and women’s shows saw daring silhouettes and bold uses of color that reflected a search for joy in a country currently experiencing a good deal of social and political commotion.

Wes Gordon made his debut at the house of Carolina Herrera on Monday morning on the Upper West Side. And, with Herrera sitting in the front row, the new boy’s debut was a generous homage to the founder of the house.

Nina Ricci has appointed the Hyères 2018 Festival winners Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh to be the joint artistic directors of the house, picking two relative unknowns to helm one of Paris' most storied houses.

Vivienne Westwood won the latest honor in a brilliant career this weekend in Italy, though when one talks to this British Dame it’s abundantly clear she is much more interested in the climate change than in clothes.

The move will help the British company move closer towards its goal of becoming a global lifestyle brand. Its inaugural collection of sunglasses and optical frames is expected to during Spring Summer 2019.

Rarely have we seen a designer more ebullient taking a bow, as Dries Van Noten was at the finale of his latest menswear show on Thursday, the first since he sealed a deal to sell a majority stake in his company to Puig.

Puig announced on Thursday that it has taken a majority stake in label Dries Van Noten. The Belgian designer, who founded his eponymous label in 1986, will continue as chief creative officer and chairman of the board.

Nina Ricci ended its relationship with Guillaume Henry on Thursday, bringing to an end his role as creative director of the Paris fashion house, after a critically muted tenure at the storied French brand.

The womenswear collections for next winter presented in New York, London, Milan and Paris from February 5 to March 6, showcased ten major new trends, creating looks that were hybrids of strength and femininity.

Carolina Herrera staged her final show on Monday night, and for her finale she sent out 25 mini versions of herself – elegant figures wearing her signature bright white men’s shirt with floor-length taffeta ball skirts.
